If you can, please donate to the campaigns of the combat veterans, especially those in your area, and of course you'll vote for them! May all of them win their elections.

It's Steny Hoyer's district. Let's help Lollar beat him!

They’re endorsing Kirk? Obviously the only criteria is veteran status and an ‘R’ after their name.

The most outrageous endorsement yet is the one of the VFW for Lt. Col. Allen West's opponent in Florida!

How can any veteran fail to support a patriot like West--a man who understands and articulates America's founding ideas, a proven leader of men and women who loves the Constitution's limits on government's coercive power, and who has such a broad and deep understanding of the history and philosophy of our enemies in the world?

All lovers of liberty should expose the VFW's failure to support West.

Unfortunately, prior military experience is a poor predictor of a candidate’s future performance once elected to political office.

Please re-read my post. Perhaps I did not state it clearly enough. The organization I mentioned was the VFW, and, as I stated:

"How can any veteran fail to support a patriot like West--a man who understands and articulates America's founding ideas, a proven leader of men and women who loves the Constitution's limits on government's coercive power, and who has such a broad and deep understanding of the history and philosophy of our enemies in the world?"

It is not his being a veteran which qualifies West, it is his devotion to the founding ideas of liberty, his ability to articulate and defend those ideas, and his experience as a military leader, combined with his knowledge of history which would qualify him, not only for being a Congressman, but as a potential debater and opponent of Obama.

Sorry if my comment was misleading, but the President's fund-raising visit to South Florida today accentuates the urgency of my point.

For any who doubt, listen to his speeches and interviews on youtube in order to be convinced.

VFW-PAC claims to have criteria that has to be met by an incumbent to get the VFW-PAC endorsement. That criteria are several bills that the VFW wants the incumbent to have voted that supported the VFW position.

In the case of Ron Klein, OUT OF NINE BILLS the VFW-PAC considered criteria for endorsement, Ron Klein DIDN'T EVEN VOTE IN SIX OUT OF THE NINE BILLS. Out of the box, Democrat Ron Klein didn't vote 66% OF THE TIME!!! Of the remaining three bills, KLEIN VOTED AGAINST THE VFW POSITION ONCE!!

So seven of the nine bills Democrat Ron Klein voted against the VFW or not at all! And the remaining two votes he did vote in accordance with the VFW - HR 3288: Fiscal 2010 Omnibus Appropriations and HR 2647: Fiscal 2010 Defense Authorization. Both huge bills that Ron Klein had to vote for so the Democrat Party didn't look like bumbling fools against the military.

What bills the VFW-PAC set as criteria for endorsing a candidate for congress

Ron Klein Vote Record
HR 3082: Fiscal 2010 Military Construction-VA Appropriations - Passage No Vote
HR 3288: Fiscal 2010 Omnibus Appropriations - Conference Report VFW-Y/Klein-Y
HR 1016: Advanced VA Health Care Budget - Adoption No Vote
HR 4872: Health Care Reconciliation - Passage VFW-N/Klein-Y
HR 4887: Military Health Plan Qualification - Passage No Vote
HR 4592: Energy Jobs for Veterans - Passage - No Vote
HR 3949: Veterans' Small Business Assistance - Passage No Vote
HR 2647: Fiscal 2010 Defense Authorization - VFW-Y/Klein-Y
HR 2647A: Fiscal 2010 Defense Authorization - Missile Defense Amendment No Vote

So, VFW-PAC, why did you endorse Ron Klein over Allen West?
